Not to be confused with The Secret of Bryce Manor, today’s featured app is an adventure game about– you guessed it– exploring a manor that’s full of secrets. As you do, of course, you pick up all kinds of trinkets that can be placed in empty slots found elsewhere in the house. It’s a tried and true adventure game formula, and it’s hard to stop playing once you start. Read More

New App A Day: We Doodle
It’s been a big week for Ngmoco. Not only have they been acquired by DeNA for a hefty $400 million, but they’ve also released We Doodle for iPhone and iPad, a game that’s very much like online Pictionary. Read More
New App A Day: Scene It? Horror
The Scene It? series of trivia games can be a lot of fun, but this horror-themed version is strictly for the 17+ crowd. It features lots of video clips and images from recent and classic horror movies, most of which are famous for being especially scary or violent. Read More
New App A Day: Moon’d
We’re constantly surprised by amateur apps that feel professional, with polished graphics, spot-on physics, and a variety of interesting levels. Unfortunately, today’s featured game is not one of them. Read More
New App A Day: Across Age DX
For gamers of a certain bent, there’s little we love more than an old-school RPG, especially one with real-time fighting and intricate puzzle solving, a la Zelda or Secret of Mana. Enter Across Age, an iPhone action RPG with all of those goodies, and time traveling to boot. Read More
New App A Day: The Ball Is Too Fast, The Game Is Too Slow, The Name Is Too Long
Today’s featured app has a title that’s sure to grab attention, if not for its length, then for its tongue-in-cheek gripes about how the game functions. In our estimation, however, the first two complaints in the title are unfounded. The balls do roll fast, but that’s a good thing– it makes for challenging gameplay. As for the second part, the game is very responsive, so it moves as quickly as you can swipe you finger across the screen. They’re right about the name being too long, though– this is a video game title, not a Faulker sentence. Read More
New App A Day: Bubble Bobble Double
Today’s featured app stars Bubblin and Bobblin, the famous fruit-eating dragons from Bubble Bobble, a series of games that has graced just about every platform in the past 20 years. If you’re old enough, you probably became acquainted with the happy duo in the arcade or NES versions of the original Bubble Bobble, a timeless classic that has now made its way to the iPhone.

New App A Day: Kenny Powers’ Home Run Fiesta: Deep Inside Mexico
Today’s featured app is a free adver-game called Kenny Powers’ Home Run Fiesta: Deep Inside Mexico. Based on the hilariously vulgar HBO show Eastbound and Down (whose second season began on Sunday, by the way) the game is a super simple 8-bit style baseball game, full of bleeps and bloops and pixelated mullets. Read More
New App A Day: Invisible Runner
New App A Day: Pig Shot
Today’s featured new app came to us via a press release bragging that it’s an “EPIC pig-slinging, farting and rolling experience that you can’t find elsewhere.” Was this something people were looking for? Read More
New App A Day: Aero World
We’ve seen our share of marble-rolling games on the App Store, and today’s featured app is, well, yet another one. There’s not a lot to distinguish Aero World from games like Marble Blast Mobile and Aerox, except perhaps its punishing difficulty. Read More
New App A Day: We City
With the release of today’s featured app, the iPhone and iPad are now home to three casual “We” games from Ngmoco: We Rule, We Farm, and We City. We City is cut from the same cloth as the other two, but rather than taking control of a medieval town or a farm, you create and manage a bustling modern city. Read More
